Reactivity Predictions (for each pair of reactive groups)

Cyanides, Inorganic mixed with
Alkynes, with No Acetylenic Hydrogen

Hazard Predictions

Hydrogen cyanide adds across the triple bond of acetylene to form acrylonitrile, in the presence of CuCl catalyst (Hort, E. V. and Taylor, P. 2003. Acetylene-Derived 365betÓéÀÖ. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)). Other inorganic cyanides and alkynes may react in a similar way. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
